I’m using an ASUS ExpertBook B9 with an i7-1165G7, no dedicated GPU. I always need to switch to a performance profile in order to run games. This works fine on Windows 10 but when trying the performance power profile on an Ubuntu 24.04.3 live USB I do not hear any difference in fan speed, presumably because GNOME’s power profile feature doesn’t work with my hardware.
Is there any other way I can increase fan speed before playing games and then bring them back down to normal when I’m done gaming? I asked about this on Ubuntu’s forum but got no response.
Search on GitHub directly so something like: ASUS fan control
Also, just because your specific model isn’t listed doesn’t mean it won’t work since many of them are similar. If you need a GUI, you may want to try one of the other suggestions instead, but in my experience, youll have more effective results with these GitHub projects that target ASUS laptops specifically.
